In Deep by Andy Aledort SOMETHING IN THE AIR, PART 2
“SAVE SOMETHING FOR ME,” the second track off Andy Aledort's new album, Light of Love, is a slow ballad, in a style not unlike two of his favorite Jimi Hendrix compositions, “May This Be Love” and “One Rainy Wish.” Andy previously went over the verse rhythm part to “Save Something for Me.” In this video, he looks at the solo.
00:00Hey, I'm Andy Aldort in this edition of In Deep. We're going to go over the guitar solo from the song Save Something For Me from my new album, Light of Love.
02:00Okay, let's go over this solo. It starts out relatively simple, and it gets really complicated, and it was hard to double it. So we'll get to all that. We're coming out of our riff.
02:30So it's all fourths. I was going after a Native American kind of a sound, and Jimi Hendrix kind of a sound.
02:43So we're in G. So this is like the major third and the sixth to the second and the fifth. And then it's inverted. You have the second to the first and the sixth to the fifth.
03:01And the first time, after three, it's a pull-off. And then this time after three, it's a slide.
03:16And then here again. And this is the same thing. Third, sixth, third, sixth, to second, fifth.
03:27And that's a repeat of second to first, sixth, to fifth, like there. So it's like the same looking two octaves.
03:42And that's played four times. And the fourth time, we come out of it with a different phrase.
03:55So these are thirty-second notes. These quick hammers. And that's the end of that bar.
04:13So it's beat four. So coming out of this phrase,
04:18right on B4 of these fast hammers. And then I double up that one.
04:32And double up on the G again. So it's a little confusing.
04:42You don't have to play it just like that. But that's the basic idea.
04:48And so, beat four of that bar, gets me into the next phrase.
05:05So let's just look at that, starting from bar five.
05:09So it's this combination of thirty-seconds and sixteenths.
05:15So after this, we go straight up.
05:17Straight up. G major pentatonic, that is.
05:19And then back down.
05:21And then right there, I just tried to be creative by going from fourths to thirds, back to fourths.
05:23And then right there, I just tried to be creative by going from fourths to thirds, back to fourths.
05:24And then right there.
05:25And then right there, I just tried to be creative by going from fourths to thirds, back to fourths.
05:26And then right there, I just tried to be creative by going from fourths to thirds, back to fourths.
05:31And then right there, I just tried to be creative by going from fourths to thirds, back to fourths.
05:38And then right there, I just tried to be creative by going from fourths to thirds, back to fourths.
05:46So back to these Curtis Mayfield, Jimi Hendrix double stops.
06:05So back to these Curtis Mayfield, Jimi Hendrix double stops.
06:09More of that crossing over stuff there.
06:24And then, now we're in bar nine.
06:30And then I go to eighth note triplets.
06:38So, end of bar nine is, bar ten.
06:47And then, bar eleven.
06:52And right here is where it changes, to the C chord, to A minor.
07:05That's over G.
07:10So don't forget you have chord change.
07:17C, A minor, E minor, G right there.
07:24And then A minor to C.
07:29That's E minor there.
07:42And then, over D.
07:45So now we're up to bar sixteen.
07:58And that's all D major pentatonic over D.
08:04And then I anticipate the change back to G by going to G here.
08:13And there's the lick comes back.
08:18So we get back up here.
08:19So we have.
08:28So bar eighteen we're back on G.
08:33And I do those double stop things again.
08:42And then a sixteenth note triplet.
08:48So this fast sixteenth note triplet lick.
09:07So work through each part of the solo slowly and carefully.
09:20Because it is complicated when you get into the detail of it.
